Job description

Senior Consultant - Financial Services & Corporate Communications

US Remote | East Coast or Central preferred

Build a hyper-specialized market. Develop your own clients. Earn exceptionally well. Help shape the future of our US business.

Capstone Hill Search is expanding its US business, and we're looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our team.

We're an established international recruitment and search firm partnering with leading financial institutions, advisory businesses and corporations on mid to senior appointments across Corporate and Financial Communications, Corporate Affairs, Investor Relations and Institutional Marketing.

Why this market?

Corporate Communications and Corporate Affairs have evolved far beyond traditional PR. Today, senior communications leaders work alongside CEOs, executive committees and boards, advising on business-critical matters including crisis management, M&A, litigation, IPOs, government policy, investor confidence and corporate reputation.

The most successful recruiters understand the value of true specialization.

By owning a clearly defined niche, developing deep market knowledge and building trusted relationships, you become the recognized expert that clients and candidates turn to.

That's the opportunity here: to become the go-to name in a specialist market and build a highly profitable recruitment business around it.

The opportunity

This is a genuine 360 recruitment role, working in close partnership with our US President, who has an established track record, client relationships and deep expertise across financial services communications.

Rather than starting from scratch, you'll help expand an existing financial services client base, developing new relationships, originating business and delivering senior-level searches alongside an experienced industry specialist.

You’ll have the autonomy to develop your own niche and build a profitable desk, while benefiting from established market credibility, direct mentorship and the infrastructure of an international search business.

What we offer:

• Exceptional earning potential: Competitive base salary, uncapped commission and the opportunity to earn $150K+ as your desk develops.
• Genuine partnership: Work directly alongside the US President to grow an established financial services practice, with hands-on support and shared market expertise.
• Autonomy with accountability: Own your market and commercial objectives within a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture.
• Established infrastructure: Access to leading recruitment technology, research platforms and AI-enabled tools.
• Career progression: Develop senior client relationships, lead high-value searches and potentially build and manage your own team.
• Flexibility: US remote, with East Coast or Central time zones preferred.

Who we're looking for

• 2-5 years' agency recruitment experience in a genuine 360/full-desk capacity.
• Proven business development skills, including originating and managing your own clients.
• Experience delivering recruitment assignments from briefing through to placement.
• Ideally, experience recruiting within financial services, investment management, private equity, hedge funds or related professional services.
• Entrepreneurial, commercially ambitious and motivated by building a successful business.

Prior Corporate Communications recruitment experience is not required. We’re particularly interested in recruiters with financial services knowledge who want to transition into a growing, highly specialized market.

Compensation: $70,000-$80,000 base + uncapped commission, with significant six-figure earning potential.
